The Mother City. The most beautiful city I have ever been to. Great place to be. Cape Town's nightlife offers everything - traditional African music, cheesy European house (yes - some people enjoy it), the kiffest alternative music, dub, electro... It seems that almost every style of music has its place in good ol' Cape Town. Cape Town is place where you can experience how diverse South Africa is, was and will be. If you can, stay on Longstreet and after a while you will find out that you already overstayed the time you planned to be in the Mother City!
